Vyrantium, Umbralis/Firstfall, Dragon:26/2020TE
When Lynrael first discovered this place, and noticed after a month that he seemed to be the only one to know of this place, he added a small security measure it was a simple runic array found in nearly every beginner book, that notified the creator if somebody other than the creator himself entered a certain radius. The Radius was not changeable and quite small, but it was enough to cover a entrance.
And this small array notified Lynrael, as Paulus entered the garden, that he was no longer alone. While not reacting to the information from an outsider perspective, he extended his senses with the help of his magic, similar to a sonar, but instead of using sound, he send out a small wave of magical energy, undetectable by anybody other than people that were aware of this technique and were "listening" for this waves. Paulus did not know this technique and because of that was not able to listen to the wave. And because of that he did not know that Lynrael knew of his exact position.
And as such Paulus was surprised when he felt foreign magika suddenly immobilizing him, and a invisible hand dragging him out of his hiding place.
Without looking up, Lynrael started to speak:
"Don't you know its not very polite to spy on a person without at least announcing yourself? Do explain yourself"
"Ähhh"
"Very interesting name, so Ähhh, why are you here?"
"My name is not Ähhh, its Paulus Iridius of House Argentum, and I was looking for you, as I was intrigued by your behaviour"
"I think I will continue to call you Ähhh. And now as you know where I am after the lessons, you can go, Ähhh"
With that Lynrael, still not looking up, waved his hand and send the startled boy flying, right out of the entrance to the garden.
As Paulus tried to enter the garden again, he was met by a solid invisible wall, blocking him of.
He tried to break the barrier with a fireball, but it just absorbed it. When he tried it with a lightning, the same happened again. With a sigh he turned around a left Lynrael alone.
He met Lynrael the next day in the Library, reading a book in elvhen. He had tried to read it himself, but even after all his years learning elvhen, it was still not readable for him. Every second word was a vocable he didn't know, and that alone made it impossible for him to read. But Lynrael was half way through, and from the notes next to him, it seemed he understood what stood there.
"Lyn, do you understand what is written there?" "Yes" he said without looking up. "And what is it about?" " It details the use of pure magika as a weapon It describes how to coat your hands in magika. This coating is powerful enough to slice though Dragon hide as well as Dragon bone"
Paulus looked at Lynrael reading and taking notes. In elvhen.
"Could you teach me to read and write elvhen like you do?"
"... maybe.. what do I get in return?" "My companionship? What do you want?" ".. access to your family's library, as well as a favour for later use"
"...acceptable"
Lynrael stood up and took the book and his notes.
"meet me tomorrow at 5 In the evening. If you come late, our deal is cancelled"
And with that Lynrael turned around and walked out of the Library.
